why are we engaging in guesswork? throwing counterfactuals at each other which do nothing to change history. this thread and possibly 3 others are tributes to the 4 years Thomas Sankara had on the helm. When he died people cried... that must have counted for something. Did women love this reign? yes!


A lovable leader isn't necessarily a great or even effective leader. History is always being changed, and guess work is sometimes a valid method for finding truth.

find truth in of something that is living and not guessing what would have happened and holding a position that is judgemental based on future sin that you think would have been committed - this is not the minority report.


In this case, what's living? Or is it, 'who is living'? And if it's about 'now', what can one judge?

'Minority' or 'majority' what's the difference, when it comes to a 'living who' making a judgment?

I respect and admire Sankara for his boldness. He did what he judged to be best, but that's where his-story ends, and mine begins.

Compaore, your typical African leader is very busy trying to change the constitution to enable him extend his term.

uthorities in Burkina Faso have charged a general who led a failed coup in September with complicity in the 1987 assassination of President Thomas Sankara, senior security sources have told the Reuters news agency.

"General Gilbert Diendere is formally charged in the Thomas Sankara case," a senior security source with direct knowledge of the case told Reuters, adding Diendere had been charged last month.

Mathieu Some, Diendere's lawyer, told Reuters on Sunday that his client had been charged over Sankara's death and he would prepare his legal defence. The charges are yet to be made public.

As someone who followed the killing of Sankara, the upright man, I'm also glad this is now taken seriously...
